Effect of Variation of Temperature and Speed on the Performance of Fixed Matrix Periodic Flow Regenerator

Author : Prakhar Bajpai 1 2

Date of Publication :7th August 2016

Abstract: The regenerator is a storage-type heat exchanger. The heat transfer surface or elements are usually referred to as a matrix in the regenerator. Linear regression method is applied for finding out a relation between different variables by taking up the values from either graphs or tables. Objective of the work is to find out the relation between the effectiveness of a heat exchanger to the various operating parameters like temperature, speed of rotation of wheel, mass flow rate, etc. Then, all the methodology is converted into a C++ program which takes up a set of initial values and displays the corresponding values of effectiveness and pressure drop. The effect of changing of different parameters on effectiveness, pressure drop and heat duty is observed next and corresponding effect is plotted on the graph. The trend obtained is then analyzed and possible explanations are discussed for the results
